Speaking to MS News, the rider claims to have the right of way as he took off when the light turned green. However, a car suddenly made a turn without signalling.

The incident left the motorcyclist with multiple injuries, including that of the leg, ankle, and scrape wounds on the arm.
According to the motorcyclist, the vehicle that knocked him down is a silver Mercedes-Benz.
